The little things

   Things are pretty rough and bumpy right now in my world, so any little laugh is definitely appreciated. This morning before my first client arrived at the salon, I was going to get a seldom enjoyed caramel macchiato at the Starbucks inside the Fred Meyer's. On my way, I passed a boy about seven or eight years old, walking in front of an elderly woman. He caught my eye specifically because he was barefoot. 

   Just as I was passing them, I heard him say to her "Grandma, who do you think would win in a fight? My dad or a coyote?"

  "What?" She didn't even catch my eye when we passed, but I had to laugh. The best laugh I've had all day.
